There's a new
baby on the (private gated community) block: Kim
Kardashian and
Kanye West welcomed a

TMZ reported the news on Tuesday, and an announcement was

Their message:
Kim confirmed the couple's use of a surrogate on her E! show
Keeping Up With the Kardashians, though TMZ first reported the news in early September. In November, Kim
accidentally revealed the sex of her child during an appearance on
Ellen.*
